Ice-cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in a many different colors and flavors. Two of my favorite flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit while chocolate usually will not. Even though more chocolate ice-cream is sold across the country annually than strawberry, each flavor tastes great inside of a milk shake.  What two things are being compared and contrasted?

• chocolate and strawberry ice cream
• vanilla and chocolate ice cream
• pizza and chips
• soda and water

Reptiles have scales and their toes have claws; amphibians have moist skin and their toes do not have claws. Both reptiles and amphibians lay eggs. However, reptile eggs have a thick hard shell and are laid on land, but amphibian eggs have no shell and are laid in water. Young reptiles are miniature replicas of their parents and are born with lungs, but young amphibians start out with gills. Once amphibians have matured to adults they have lungs.

When comparing reptiles and amphibians:

• Reptiles and amphibians both have lungs as adults.

• Reptiles and amphibians both have toes on their claws.

• Reptiles and amphibians have gills when babies.

• Reptiles and amphibians have scales.
